El Sefer ’Oḵlȃ wĕ-’Oḵlȃ y la masora magna del códice de Profetas de El Cairo

Abstract

The Sefer ’Oḵlȃ wĕ-’Oḵlȃ is one of the most important independent -not joined to the biblical text- masoretic treatises handed down to us. It has been published in two different editions (S. Frensdorff and F. Díaz Esteban) based on different manuscripts (Paris and Halle). In almost a hundred cases, some of their lists or fragments of them can be detected in the Masorah Magna of the Cairo Codex (MMC), and in fourteen cases two or more notes of MMC can be compared with both editions of the ’Oḵlȃ. In this article the list of the ninety four cases of common information is published, the fourteen specific cases are described and commented, and a provisional conclusion is drawn: concerning the masoretic contents, the notes of MMC and the editions of the ’Oḵlȃ are similar, but, concerning the forro they were transmited, they differ so much that the existence of a common source should be rejected.
